Hi,
I realized what's going, but still don't know what to do.
What's happening is that there is no pg_user table in my
new postgres, which is the problem I was going to attack
via psql. So this seems like a catch 22.
What can I do?

Subject: trouble restoring data from postgres 8.3.3 to freshly installed 8.3.6
Hi everybody,
I just finished installing postgres 8.3.6 and was
able to start it. The log file reads:
[2009-02-22 00:27:01.824 PST] < 11543 2009-02-22 00:27:01 PST >LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2009-02-22 00:25:04 PST

While in postgres's home directory, I issued a command:
./bin/psql -f PastLogs/dumpall.out postgres
which is almost verbatim from the man page. When I had
.pgpass file, it told me:
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
When I got rid of it, it asked me for one. Whatever I gave was
no avail. The password it is asking is not login password?
Can somebody please help?
Thank you.
